“I was proud of my House colleagues last session when we passed the capital budget, but dismayed that the Senate could not find a way to do so in their chamber, thus delaying so many crucial projects in our communities,” said Rep. Kloba. “I am so glad we finally came together to get this done and can put people to work building infrastructure.”

The capital budget pays for buying, constructing and repairing infrastructure projects including schools, parks, community centers, clean air and water systems, corrections facilities, hospitals, clinics, housing and higher education facilities, among others.

The 1st Legislative District will see over $27 million in funds spent on local construction projects.

“I am frustrated that this process has taken so long. We should have finished this last year,” said Rep. Stanford. “That being said, we can now build more schools, upgrade our parks, and move our economy forward.”
